Best bang-for-buck purchase you have made?


For me, it was buying a pair of used Magnepan MG-12 speakers for $550.00 from a dealer in Oregon. I had heard the 1.6 before, but not the smaller 12's. These speakers have TOTALLY changed the way I listen to music - I may eventually upgrade to larger Maggies, but I think I will always keep the 12's around.

What about the rest of you?

Tyler Reference Monitors, stands, sub, external cross overs & cables from another Agon member for $1200.00. The absolute best money I have put into my system yet. Even at full retail these are worth every penny.
<$1500 for all Apogee speakers except the Diva. Most who have bought an Apogee, have never looked at buying anything else.
Magnepan, Magneplanar 1.6qr speakers. Even at their list price they are an incredible bargain for such great sound! I can't tell you what I paid for my new pair...but it was the best deal on earth in my book!
Paid $500 for an Arcam FMJ CD23 and sold it for $1275....then turned around and bought my Gryphon Linestage for $1200...both are great purchases but the dual mono preamp was a far better benefit for my system than the Arcam.
